Vector Resolution
1). Calculate the resultant force on a gymnast of weight 420N when she has a horizontal force on her of 1200N.
Answer: I worked out 1270N as the resultant force, using pythagoras' theorem, but I can't work out the angle. I tried doing but the answer should be . What am I doing wrong?

So how do I know which angle I'm supposed to be measuring? This is the biggest problem I'm having at the moment as I'm just guessing the angle and hoping it's the right one.
